2:04 am
feet in a stamp and i saw a dead body taken from the airport and put in a car and we have no other option when i don't know what the, the telephone is in charge of securing the airport and protecting us forces and evacuation from being overrun, they are forceful and their crowd control. relying on gunfire and beatings to disperse, the thousands who gather us forces can be seen around the perimeter. just meters from taliban patrols. people played their cake through evacuation raising paperwork to the tower, but they are asked to move on. afghans complain, americans have fired towards them. also, not the one that we're even scared to bring their documents with us every day. we're here because we want them to do something for us because we've done them favors and now we're left here without a future day or every day. the numbers, the vaskins looking for an exit swells. hundreds gather outside the british, french and canadian embassies, hopes brutes. but rumors spread faster. most wisdom besieged have closed,
2:05 am
but they don't know that. $20000.00 applicants have applied for us special immigrant visas, including their families. they measured $70000.00 to eligible for evacuation. there were thousands more foreign nationals and africans who worked with other nations, also waiting for flight out. more than a 100000 people have been evacuated with home of on the on sunday. and still the us is expanding its eligibility criteria and doubling the number of evacuation flights and this weekend. yet many people tell us they are too scared to come to the airport because it would mean passing tell a bon checkpoints for those that do attempt it. they brace for crowds and gunfire, and the disappointment that they will likely be left behind. charlotte bellis ultra 0 cobble or nato has held an emergency meeting on the crisis in afghanistan. it says lessons must be learned about the speed with which the taliban took over the
2:06 am
country sector general yann's sultan told edge data. some nato allies express the need to stay beyond the august 31st deadline to get people out. we have been able to evacuate the thousands of people over the last days and the situation at the airport is so much better now and on and also on in the beginning of the week about we really recognized that the huge hall sca that remains to be done and that was the main issue discussed at the meeting it today. the reality is that actually we have many allies for offer to host, to receive afghans. people coming out from going on. we have many planes enough calling this on the cobbler airport or in the region. the main challenge was to get people to the airport and into the airport. so we have communicated clearly to all of us that they should provides a safe passage for everyone who wants to leave the country and especially,
2:07 am
and enable them to, to go to the airport. some ne, darlise and especially in the states they have had, well, di will called operational tactical compacts with, with all the bonds to make sure that that happens. we have seen some progress, but still it is a very difficult situation outside the airport. it's very unpredictable at the meeting today. many allies express the need to extend the deadline to the timeline beyond the 20 and 31st of august. and that's because they see that with the current pace, we will not be able to get all the people who want to get out by the end of that timeline. i'm concerned about told you i've seen the last weeks, including the very rapid collapse of the african security forces on the political leadership. when we made a decision to end,
2:08 am
then they thought us us and they to persons in gone this on. we were aware of the risks of all the bond returning back to the very wrapped, the false collapse over over all the political leadership and the security forces that was not anticipated. and that of course has created some additional problems. so the problem you are faced with today, then i think it's extremely important to remember that the reason why we went into afghanistan was to prevent of gone from being a safe haven national, terraced after the type of tax organized from i've gone this on against, not the states and 911-2001. for trinity, ezra prevented any attacks on the need to other countries organized from of gone on . and now it is simple to do what we can to preserve those gains of the death toll from saturday's earthquake in haiti. has risen to nearly 2200 people quite damaged a number of buildings, housing critical services among them. southern haiti's only medical oxygen plant.
2:09 am
the last race fears of a worsening humanitarian crisis. as the country struggles to contain an increase in corona vars cases, the organization of american states has held a virtual meeting to discuss the situation. haiti's prime minister ariel henry addressed the media for the 1st time since the earthquake is john home and was there. let's cross live to him in full to prince. so john, what did he have to say? so we were the only international tv crew that we got to ask him a couple of questions which was useful after spending most of this week in the disasters. and the 1st thing that i asked him, he mentioned last evening, which is a part of haiti in the south west. it's really just been absolutely destroyed. it's a chain of villages going along a road. and as you go kilometer off the kilometer,
2:10 am
the flat and the village have 9 said 9 to 8 percent of the buildings in for on his town have been destroyed. so i asked him why has an aide reached regions like this and towns like this. you yourself say, have been completely destroyed. he did not want to answer that question. he just kind of the mike onto his head of civil protection, who said that they're trying to get the different departments that having problems and logistical security. and from there, they'll get them on to the more remote villages, but they are arriving. but actually the heb 9. when we went to that village said he did actually phone the prime minister personally. and the prime minister said, you need to wait. so that's the situation with that. one other thing that i asked him was something that he and his government have wanted to talk about that much has been a big elephant in the room. and that's the fact the along the only road from pull to prints where we are the cap so towards the disasters are in the south west. there's a stretch of it that to going to battling over. and it's very hard and very risky
2:11 am
to get anything through. and as a result, most of the aid has to be lifted into that region. so i asked him, what is your government trying to do to make sure that that road is secure and that the problems that he said the road is better now that they do have a security plan that they couldn't tell us in the press conference, but the things that already approved, he said that just a day or 2 ago and orthopedic surgeon, one of the few that haiti has was actually kidnapped by one of the gangs. so you get the sense of that problem isn't completely on and out. and it's been going on for some time here. and john will bruley was, he'll read of the recovery efforts there, given of course that this is a country that in many ways still hasn't fully recovered from the last earthquake there more than a decade ago. that's completely turned the trauma. quake is still present, especially because the rebuilding process off to the quite many people regard as
2:12 am
bought. there was a lot of money. there was a lot of international aid that went into it and a lot of people left off with asking, where has it gone? and actually another journalist that's been here in a long time in that press conference. awesome. i saw the earthquake cooperation, the aftermath happened. i saw it not go right want, how can you do things differently this time? now the united nations was also present to me and they said that we have lessons that things have to be done differently. has to be the government that needs that. but we think that owning this national operation, and so we can do it better this time. i think that that might not at the moment convince people on looking, especially people, more than 130000 families. the last the hundreds of last everything they have in the still waiting for just the 1st step level and rebuilding just ta, puling. that's what they're asking for plastic covers just to show to them since for a rainy season,
2:13 am
until that starts to happen. the logistics challenges get and the security challenges get ironed out. i think only them maybe we can start to talk about improving on 2010. john, thank you john. home and live for us in port au prince. i feel ahead on that you said affairs for sierra leone government, as plans are made to turn this pristine beach into an industrial harbor. the illegal trade that's endangering a ramp for voice in mexican waters or conservation groups. blame the government, the us and china. ah hello there. let's start in central america where we're watching grace move across essential parts of mexico after making a 2nd land full across that eastern coast. now it's going to bring wet and windy
2:14 am
weather to mexico city. we could see winds of up to 65 kilometers per hour, but it's really the rain that's going to kick in. we could see flooding and mud slides as it works. its way to that west coast is going to break down. that's what happens when these systems move over land. we're also watching on re, as it makes its way to the north east. that's going to bring some really wet and windy weather along the east coast as well as quite a strong storm surge. now it's expected to make land fall in long island and to the south of new england, but it is an unpredictable storm. we're not too sure where it is going to go and we've got high pressure above quebec, and that is making it even more unpredictable. but we'll keep an eye on that system regardless, it is going to bring a lot of weather to that coast and it will be fun. the storms in new york as we go into next week, we're also seeing wet weather, around central areas of canada. we've got a weather system here, and that's going to bring some severe storms rolling across towards the east,
2:15 am
as well as affecting the great lakes and the midwest as we go. insist sunday, that should weather update. the news for more than 10 years to the global financial crisis, you've taken home more than $480000000.00. your companies now bankrupt our economies in the state of crisis. i have a very casey question many last at home. the us who held responsible. i will be fabulously wealthy and i will not take any price for it. thank you, lloyd. the man who still worked on al jazeera ah
